Background
editThis will be the 26th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since 1908 except 2012 (during the time when team events were rotated off the schedule, with only two of the three weapons for each of the men's and women's categories).
Japan (Koki Kano, Kazuyasu Minobe, Satoru Uyama and Masaru Yamada) were the defending champions, since Uyama was retired, Akira Komata took Uyama's spot, but lost to Hungary in the final.
Qualification
editA National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a team of three fencers in the men's team épée. These fencers also automatically qualified for the individual event.[2]

editThe tournament was a single-elimination tournament, with classification matches for all places. Each match featured the three fencers on each team competing in a round-robin, with nine three-minute bouts to five points; the winning team was the one that reaches 45 total points first or was leading after the end of the nine bouts.[3]
